'90s fashion icons: then and now - Though we’re nearing the 2020s, it seems the '90s are alive and well with every pair of mom jeans, every slip dress, and all those fanny packs finding their way out of the dark corners of closets. There are very specific people we can credit for popularizing what might have otherwise been regarded as plain tacky, and those stars have cemented things like low-rise bottoms and high-cropped tops into the fashion bible.

Check out this gallery to see who the fashion icons of the ‘90s were, and what they’re looking like now.

Sarah Jessica Parker - Almost better-known as Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City,' Parker was known for sporting little strappy heels with fluff over the toes, along with tulle skirts, wild prints, and satin slips. She taught viewers that it was fun to get risky with fashion.

Christina Aguilera - This pint-sized princess delivered her debut album, with signature hits like 'Genie in a Bottle' and 'What a Girl Wants,' at the tail-end of the decade, however she fully embodied the '90s in her crop tops and cheetah prints.

Spice Girls - Sporty, Ginger, Posh, Scary, and Baby each had their own style—from spaghetti-strap dresses and PVC skirts, to sporty crop tops and chunky platforms—inspiring a generation of young women to embrace "girl power."

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - The '90s had twin fever, particularly with these two 'Full House' tots going on to create a billion-dollar empire that included clothes, video games, movies, and makeup. From tiny, colored sunglasses, to satin spaghetti strap dresses and chokers of all kinds, they were the epitome of '90s fashion to the younger crowd.

Karyn Parsons - You can't mention 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' without mentioning Hillary Banks' miniskirts, church hats, and beautiful curls. She mixed flirty with refined, and made a statement for the decade.

Karyn Parsons - Since then, Parsons has founded Sweet Blackberry, a company whose mission is to bring stories of black empowerment and achievement to children everywhere. She's still looking sharp as ever as a mom.

Lisa Bonet - Bonet has acted in some movies, but she's mostly remained a free-spirited public figure. She still rocks headbands, and can often be seen with her daughter, Zoë Kravitz, or her husband Jason Momoa.

Alicia Silverstone - Silverstone started out in the '90s as an Aerosmith video star before landing her breakthrough and iconic role as Cher Horowitz in 'Clueless,' almost single-handedly making plaid the hottest pattern.

Brandy Norwood - Brandy broke through as one of the biggest teen singers of the decade, before branching into TV and movies thanks to her titular role as 'Moesha.' She donned bold prints, box braids, and burgundy lipstick, and there's remnants of her style everywhere today.

*NSYNC - The boys have all grown out of shimmering outerwear and tinted sunglasses, but they've got a legacy to uphold and, though no longer making music, they each carry that undeniable boy band flare.

Naomi Campbell - It's no surprise that one of the original supermodels was also a fashion icon, but Campbell's style was particularly fun to watch because she was so connected to the high fashion world and wasn't afraid to step out in more daring outfits.

Madonna - The '90s could be distinguished alone using Madge's continuous changes of image, one particular highlight being the cone-shaped corset designed by Jean Paul Gaultier for her Blond Ambition Tour.

Britney Spears - She's now released her ninth studio album and embarked on a massively successful four-year Las Vegas residency, and she's still winning awards in tiny dresses looking amazing as ever. If Britney can get through 2007, you can get through your day.

Winona Ryder - Ryder's uncomfortable look on the red carpet was part of her charm, along with short cropped hair, slip dresses, battered leather jackets, sweetheart necklines and grunge style pieces. She was effortlessly cool for one of the biggest actresses of the '90s.

Winona Ryder - She's starred in many movies, and most recently in the wildly popular series 'Stranger Things,' but all her fame never got in the way of her preference for black ensembles and her awkwardness in front of cameras.

Uma Thurman - With the release of films like 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Gattaca,' Thurman became a hot topic of the '90s for a hot minute, making sweeping fashion statements with red carpet ensembles like this.

Christina Applegate - Previously known as Kelly Bundy on 'Married... with Children,' Applegate was an inspiration for teens who loved her leather skirts, turtleneck crop tops, big buckle belts, and snug minis. She made rebellion look very attractive.

Claire Danes - No one could wear a flannel dress or oversized shirt like Angela Chase in 'My So-Called Life.' Danes also had 'Romeo + Juliet' and 'Little Women' drawing attention to her red-carpet style, which tended towards the simple but stylish.

Kate Moss - From her iconic slip dresses to her overwhelmingly large fur coats, Moss helped define the decade with her party-girl style. Note the martini and cigarette hanging nonchalantly from her fingers.
